Dual Xeon 18-core 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors. Each CPU delivers 18 cores at 2.30 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots.

Dense storage focus

This configuration suits buyers who need twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays backed by a PERC H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It is not for deployments requiring PCIe flash tiers or GPU-accelerated compute density.

Twelve 6TB enterprise drives

The chassis ships with twelve 6TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch hard drives installed. This raw capacity defines the storage foundation; buyers needing a different drive count or interface must reconfigure.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated or do I need to buy drives separately?

The system arrives with twelve 6 TB 7.2 K SATA drives already installed in every bay, so no additional drives are required for full capacity.

Should I choose the 128 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to add more memory later?

The unit includes eight 16 GB DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC modules filling eight of twenty-four slots, leaving room to expand up to the 1.5 TB maximum if workloads grow.

What does the 2.3 GHz base clock with 3.6 GHz turbo mean for real-world throughput on the dual 18-core Xeons?

Each of the two E5-2699 v3 processors runs at 2.3 GHz base and can boost to 3.6 GHz, giving thirty-six total cores that scale frequency under load for databases, virtualization or HPC tasks.
